Three poppies from back in the day, before we knew the things we know now, and after we learnt most of the important stuff. (lengthier feel-good retrospective inner-fuzzy-smiley aw-shucks-sweet post to follow.)

Just for you Aadi

Even skeletons need to be dusted off from their cupboard shelves and taken out for a walk sometimes.

And the company along the way is always appreciated.

'Coz those bones get too heavy for just one person to hold.

And rather two people looking the fool walking around a park with their arms full of vertebrae, fibulae and tarsals, than one silly girl who's a banana slice short of a fruit-salad.

Moments with Mum... (1)

My bedroom is in darkness and I sent my mum an email earlier to remind her to buy new globes, her response;

"Did you have a lightbulb moment? Hahahahaha!"

I have this proclivity for falling asleep in the car in the mornings when I'm not driving to work. As much as I may be ruining my chances at snagging a spouse here, I have to be honest and admit I'm not an attractive sleeper; mouth open, head lolling from side to side, no prince charming is going to want to exercise his chivalric muscle.

"When you fall asleep like that, you look spastic. The other commuters must think I'm on my way to drop my daughter off at Special School."

Ah, I love my mum.
